Frames | PyCharm (original) (raw)

The Frames pane of the Threads&Variables tab enables you to gain access to the list of threads of your application.

Frames pane

To examine a thread, select it from the list on top of the pane. The status and type of a thread is indicated by a special icon and a textual note next to the thread's name. For each thread, you can view the stack frame, examine frames, navigate between frames, and automatically jump to a frame's source code in the editor.

To examine the values stored in a frame, use the Variables pane of the Debug tool window.

Thread Icons

Icons near each thread indicate the status of the thread:

Icon Description
Current thread The current thread in suspended state.
Running thread An active thread.
Thread at breakpoint The thread that has hit the current breakpoint.
Suspended thread A suspended thread. Threads are marked as suspended when they were paused by the debugger.
Frozen thread A frozen thread. Threads are marked as frozen when they were manually paused.
